Q

describe Transitional Circulation

A

Lungs: fluid is replaced by air (raising alveolar O2 tension) and fluid is resorbed
↓ PVR

Hypoxic vasoconstriction in lungs reverses

↑ flow of blood in lungs → Path of least resistance
↑ blood return to LA (↑ pressure)-PFO closes (closes pop off)
↑ flow out LVOT, DA senses ↑ pO2, PGE from placenta ↓ & DA closes

PGE keeps DA open during transposition, HLHS

Q

Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn

A

PDO / PDA might not close because of high right-sided pressure

Q

when is physiologic nadir of hgb

A

3-4 months

27
Q

what Clotting factors are 20-50% of adult levels?

A

2, 7, 9, 10

28
Q

neonatal airway caviats

A

epiglottis longer/ narrower
Larynx anterior/cephalad/smaller
shorter neck
tongue/adenoids larger
telescopic subglottic area

29
Q

FRC in neonate

A

Lower

30
Q

diaphram in neonate

A

flat instead of dome

31
Q

metabolic rate / O2 consumption in neonate

A

increased

32
Q

Hypoglycemia can cause

A

apnea
hypotension
bradycardia
convulsions
brain injury

33
Q

Exposure to noxious stimuli/pain with inadequate or absent pain control can have physiologic consequences

A

→ Intraventicular Hemorrhage & PHTN

Lack of development of inhibitory tracts may increase the intensity and duration of painful stimuli

34
Q

when do fontanelles close

A

Anterior fontanelle closes at 2 years
Posterior fontanelle closes at 4 months

35
Q

most common heat loss

A

Radiant (majority): loss to environment (air)

cover head

36
Q

Neonate lacks ability to regulate body temperature due to

A

Large surface area
Lack of SQ tissues
Inability to shiver

37
Q

where to maintain sats to prevent ROP?

A

O2 sats- 92-98%

atropine increases IOP –> use glyco

38
Q

All infants less than how many PCA should be monitored

A

<62 weeks PCA

39
Q

coarctation high BP

A

Coarc: high BP on L upper extremity

40

NPO status
Current recommendations from ASA

A

2: clear liquids
4: breast milk
6: formula, fortified breast milk
8: solids

41
Q

Size of ETT

A

2 & up: Uncuffed
(age in years/4) + 4
or
(Age +16)/4

Cuffed to cuffed drop ½ size
Leak desirable between 15-25 cm H2O

42
Q

Depth of ETT:

A

3x ID of ETT
Nasal + 1-1.5cm

Uncuffed ETT have double black line (place at VC)

43
